RE: [BaadAssGremlins] amc on musclecar on spike tv

Oh, I ain't asking for equal time. Only that when 
time IS given to our cars, it not be spent bashing 
them. You never hear those snide comments about 
Camaros...and you can knock them easily and never 
tell a lie. Imagine a commentator saying this on 
Hot Rod TV...

"Now, sure, this Z/28 is fast and sharp looking.
But be prepared to be one of several dozen at 
every show you go to. You won't score any points 
for uniqueness."

NEVER happen. Mind you, the exact same words can be 
a compliment or an insult, depending of which you put 
first. Example-

"While the 390-V8 and M12 4-sped were a potent setup,
no matter how you slice it, in sales, it was too 
little, too late."

Sounds beter this way...

"While it may have been too little to late in sales,
No matter how you slice it, the 390-V8 and M12 4-speed 
were a potent setup."

Prowess overcomes the sales rather than sales defeat 
the prowess.

But the mags and TV show choose to use the negative 
take when talking about AMCs and do the opposite to 
bolster the egos of the Big-Three fans (their bread-
and-buter)...and so the myths continue to get spread
all these years later.

Look at all the mags that STILL claim HP died in '72
when it's the rating system that changed. They blather
on about 400HP '68s and '69s and bash a '72 300HP car
when the drivetrains were nearly unchganged.

Eh, I might chime in here too. Both sides. AMC don't sell.
